We report an experimental study on three new types of tubes inspired by the cross-section
and nodes of bamboo with the aim of improving the crashworthiness of three types of …

This paper proposes a hybrid method combining the Contribution Analysis Method, the
Radial Basis Function Neutral Network (RBFNN)-Response Surface Method (RSM) hybrid …

The crashworthiness design of automotive structure is crucial to ensure the safety of
passengers. Lumped parameter models, multi-body models, plastic frame models and …

In this paper, the side structure of the automobile body, as the main assembly to withstand
the impact force in side collision, is taken as the research object for multi-objective …

ABSTRACT A comprehensive solution for bus frame design is proposed to bridge multi-
